I’m addicted to vitamin C

During the autumn and winter times, between early October to early February, I am generally a slightly sickly person. My nose is usually drippy and stuffy and I tend to sneeze a lot. I noticed that my mom is the same way. Perhaps it’s genetics? I’ve tried tons of products from Alka Seltzer, claritins, and generic cold medicine. Nothing worked. Sometimes, I’d get the placebo effect effect where I think the product worked on my sniffly, sneezy, drippy nose. In hours, or even minutes, I’d start to feel all sickly again. After a lot of trial and error, I have finally found my true antidote: NUTRILITE® Twist Tubes – Strawberry Kiwi.I recommend trying the product! If you are interested, please order through this website: http://www.amway.com/tonyten13/Shop/Product/Product.aspx/NUTRILITE-Twist-Tubes-Strawberry-Kiwi-flavor-for-Immunity?itemno=116872! You would be doing my friend a big favor. He owns an amway online shop and is working on gaining prospective customers.

These twist tubes contain 1000mg of vitamin C per tube. I mean, you can probably get other products from different vendors with the same amount of vitamin C. Well, personally, I like NUTRILITE the best. I’ve tried many other vitamin C products and overall, these twist tubes are my favorite. To me, they taste like strawberry dessert in a bottle with about 20 calories per stick. Some people tell me to just each fruits. Well, as a woman, it is recommended that I eat 2 cups of fruits. Since I’m very active, I need to each 2 1/2 cups. I dunno about you, but I don’t remember the last time I ate 2 cups of fruits each day. I probably should but the truth is? I don’t. Therefore, I drink NUTRILITE .Best of all, they make me feel really, really good as in no sniffly, drippy, runny nose kinda good. 🙂 Note: You won’t feel it right away in the beginning but after about 1 or 2 days, you’ll feel the difference.

NUTRILITE uses sucralose to sweeten each tube. Based on livestrong.com (http://www.livestrong.com/article/354379-sucralose-effects/) some people report that sucralose causes headaches and weight gain. At the same time, these findings were gathered from people with a sucralose sensitivity or allergy. Therefore, studies are inconclusive, and more are required. Overall, the benefits of NUTRILITE outweighs the cons.

I carry 1-2 sticks with me at all times for my water. Sometimes, when I pull ’em out in front of people, they stare at me all weird. I can only imagine how I look like in their perspective. A pale asian girl pulling out a vial of red liquid in a suspicious vial… hmm…
